Synopsis

Are you concerned about the troubling dilemma of homelessness throughout the world and even in the United States? Do you want to help homeless people but do not know where to start? Are you frustrated because the help you have to offer is not enough to make a dent in the problem? As more and more people become homeless therewill be fewer and fewer shelters and food kitchenswhich offer free assistance to the homeless. Nopleading or prodding of elected officials will changecitizen resistance to offer more subsidies and a greater availability of food for homeless people. The only assistance in the long run that will make a difference must come from the homeless themselves. The most helpful gift anyone can offer to the homeless is to help shift their attitude from helplessness to hopefulness. I believe this is possible by shifting attitudes from "poor me" to "look at me." This is Not an easy shift to make given the dire circumstances many homeless confront. It is possible for anyone who is homeless today to shift their current habit of begging to a fresh approach as they ascend to becoming a successful entrepreneur.This book offers business strategies that can be launched today by the homeless which require no upfront money, no office, no business planand no bank. Any one of these new businesses offer the promise of tripling the current incomestream of homeless who currently rely on begging to keep themselves and their families alive. Obviously, people who are homeless cannot purchase this book. You can. Instead of giving a beggar a handout, why not give them a copy of my book? Better yet, why not request that your library acquire it so that the homeless who hang out in your public library can read it.Some people who are homeless are so sick that they do not have the energy to become an entrepreneur. Some do. Help them and they in turn will help others who are homeless. This book is not about promoting soup kitchens or arguing for more shelters. This book is not about creating a public policy that promises to solve the problem of homelessness. From Homeless to Entrepreneur is all about empowering people who currently find themselveswho no money and no home to create a new life for themselves that offers promise of a better life.
